Oh boy here we go. What are the odds Chinese vendors have designed these as bugdoors? That'd give them a good motive to push so hard for this adoption.

- maeln 7y agoUS, Europe and almost any country have police using fake cell-site, some also have mass surveillance program. Why blame only the Chinese when "3-letter agency" might be as happy to have possibility to snoop on 5G traffic?
- Grangar 7y agoSince it's Chinese vendors such as Huawei pushing their implementation. Supposedly it's resistant to such interference, now it turns out it's not. Surprise surprise.
- _jal 7y agoThey are protocol vulnerabilities, not implementation vulnerabilities. I also tend to think the evidence suggests being wary of nation-state intelligence influence on networking systems - the only ones who haven't done it are the ones who lack the capabilities. Cisco's apparent inability to stop its code base from constantly regrowing backdoors will compromise you just as quickly as whatever Huawei may be up to.
- Someone1234 7y agoConsidering these are vulnerabilities in the underlying protocol/spec created by 3GPP (US, South Korea, majority Japan, with a single Chinese partner) and ratified by the UN's ITU, and exist on handsets that implement 5G as spec-ed from all over the world, nearly 0% chance. What's your basis for the claim "Chinese vendors" did it?
